Everything was so good
nabeel, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel room was generally clean and the lady at the reception desk was very helpful. However, for the price we paid, I think I expected more amenities like a mini fridge and more than one power outlet. Also, the shelf above the bathroom sink was too low, so I had some issues using the faucet.
Rochelle, 2-night trip

Janneth, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Rooms were fine for short trip where you are very busy, had everything you needed, as well as clean and comfortable. The Filipino lady (sorry I cannot place her name at the moment) was spectacular! Kind and the definition of hospitable. Miss her already and her warm smile and conversation. Breakfast (David's) was amazing. Just a normal; eggs, hash browns, bacon & sausage, toast - guy here though. Went there twice with the 15% discount for staying with Touchstone.
